"Thanks ahead of time for any
"Thanks ahead of time for any help.....I am going to swap out my Alpha 1 drive for a Bravo to match my Bravo 350 MAG MPI (replacing now broken Alpha which surprising lasted until the second day with the new motor). Before I mess anything else up and to make this more cost effective, I have some questions:
1. Is it possible to use my Alpha transom assembly for the Bravo drive? Perhaps swapping out just the bell housing? A best type of Bravo for this conversion?
2. Cooling: Is the water flow similar from the Alpha to the Bravo? Not sure if the water passage is the same, or additional water flow is to much for the alpha transom. I will add an additional separate inlet if necessary.
3. How about the power trim cylinders? To short/long/just right?
4. Other considerations?
Thanks again for any information...
